The following minute and graphic ac
count of the batiks of the 8th ntl Oih May.
in which our gallant army won for them
selves imperishable renown, will be read
with deep and thrilling interest. It is from

Cump opposite Natamoras,
May 13ih. 1810.
On the 1st of May the army under Gen.
Taylor took up its line of march at 3 o'
clock, P. M., for Point Isabel, thirty miles
distant, in order to force up from that point
provisions, which were necessary to the
Maintenance of our fott here. To defend it
in onr tbsence On. Taylor lefi the 7th
Regiment of Infantry, Brauo's battery ol

or seven thousand of ihe enemy, to oppose

fiht litem going down, but did not meet
t'.em. On the 2d instant, in the afiernoni
we reached Point Isabel, and on the 3'
heard the bombardment continued at inter
vals for several days. In the meantime.
General Taylor, having learned by exprcsf
from Major Br ws, ihl he could hold tin
furl, put his whole command to work ir
the entrenchments at Point Isabf I, l!ie bnsn
of our operations, and having made itsufli
cienily sirong, and loaded about ihrr e huii

the relief of our gallant lii'.lo band in this
fort, and to give battle to the enemy if ih
ccssary. lie eommincrd his inarch at 2
o'clock, P. M., on the 7.h instant, in tlx
following order; a squadron of Dragoons
commanded by ('apt. May. in front; tin

On the niyht rf the Tth we encamped a
bant 12 milts from Point Isabel, wiihnu
(.rcirg the enemy. On the 8di we had ad

places in our front and on our flanks. The
lowest estimate at the time of the enemy
force was 5,000 of all arras our own be
mrr under 2.000 fiehiinz men. We have
sinco learned that on this occasion the ene
my had over 6,000 fighting men. But lh
greatest uifl'tculty under which we labored
was the absolute necessity of protecting in
an open praiiiejrom fhe enemy our numer

without which, even if we gained a virion
we could nnl relieve our garrison opp mk
Matamoras, or maintain our position ilieie
Ucsi jes we were miserably ih fn iem as i

Dragoons, whils ihs enemy could not have

gade, told the men to keep cool, and when
he enemy charged not to fire a shot unti
they weie repulsed with the bayonet, and
lad turned their backs in flight.
Our advance then recommenced slowly
but firmly, wagons and all, and when we

batteries opened upon us, some of tliei
balls bouncing abng the plain and passing
